London, Ontario
I am exhausted.... oh my, has it ever been a crazy week! Just got home from the yearly Ontario Council of Folk Festivals conference that was held in London this year. Much fun was had! Got to see some of my dearest pals, played some fine showcases - much thanks to Richard Flohil, Nutshell Music and Home County Folk Festival for hosting me this year. And I was so busy I didn't even take any photos!
In other news, I am so pleased to report that the new CD is all manufactured and looking positively gorgeous! Get yer credit cards ready as they will go on sale Tuesday morning, October 30th at Midnight!
Hailed as one of Canada's "hottest young guitar players," Kristin Sweetland has been much-lauded for her intricate instrumental guitarwork, rich vocals and enchanting stage presence. A born performer and true road-warrior, Sweetland brings her wild tales of adventure to the stage in style. Her albums include Own Sweet Time, released in Fall 2007, and her critically acclaimed debut, Root, Heart & Crown. Both albums were produced by Juno award-winning multi-instrumentalist Ken Whiteley, and showcase Sweetland's stellar guitar playing alongside powerful melodies and deeply intelligent songwriting. Musically, Sweetland draws on broad influences from folk/roots, classical, flamenco, world music and rock-n-roll traditions in ways that are rich, delicious, utterly refined and unmistakably Sweetlandish.
